Campus "Hate Speech" Codes in Doubt after High Court Rejects a City Ordinance.

Jaschik, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v38 n43 pA19,A22 Jul 1 1992

The U.S. Supreme Court decision that it is unconstitutional for public entities to ban specific kinds of "fighting words" without banning all such speech is discussed as it concerns institutions of higher education. It is viewed that the college campus, not the cities, is where this decision will be tested. (GLR)
